purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 It first opened for the game against Port Vale on 27th August 1994 which was the second home game of the season. It was closed for the Sunderland game. I remember because I had to sit in the Williams as the East End was full (half City, half Sunderland - can you imagine that now?). If you sat in there for the Sunderland game, you would have been on your own!It was officially opened by Sir Bert Millichip against Millwall on the 8th October 1994. I think David Seal scored that day. I'm not an anorak, I just have a good memory. Or perhaps I'm just wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I thought it was, but my mate seems to think there was an 'Official' opening a few games after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the seats were still dusty and some still had a polythene covering.I won't argue, but i asure you it was open for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of information about the opening of that stand was quite incredible - I remember when we first went in there we had no idea if it would be open or not until we actually arrived at the ground. It wouldn't surprise me if they opened it against Sunderland and nobody realised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATCHER Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Only eleven years old and it's too small. Now I don't know if there was building restrictions etc., but I'm worried that in years to come we will be talking about the "new" East End and saying "we should of had two teirs for increased capacity now we're in The Premership".

The exact details are sadly lost in the mists of time. More lager anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vodared Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Please remind me if that was the game when we lost 6-1 at home to to Sunderland on a Tuesday night in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Think that was 0-0, the 6-1 loss was in 90 or 91 and in a cup.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
